GIOVI
Beginning with a pure vocation and trying to make what until then had been a youthful recreation into a real job, in 1987 the Master Distiller Giovanni La Fauci founded the GIOVI distillery, located in Valdina in the Messina area. It boasts an excellent reputation nationally and internationally, due to the very high quality of its products. The discontinuous alembic still used for processing, an ancient “Zadra”, has been modified in some of its parts, to be adapted to the needs of a very slow wood-fired distillation.
In addition to the spirits, since 2009, the company also produces four wine labels with grapes from vineyards located at high altitudes in the Etna area. The Master Distiller personally follows the entire production process, from the care of the vine, grown in a natural way without the use of chemicals, to the refinement in the bottle.
The production philosophy, oriented towards quality and authenticity, makes Giovi distillates and wines increasingly appreciated by the international critics of the sector.
